In a lot of ways it sounds reminiscent of some of the better TFE tracks (MOH, Camera Eye, Walking Shade), only less shoegaze-y. I like this a heck of a lot.

If Tom Tom turns out to be anywhere what most of us seem to hope it will, then EP 2 is going to be a winner.

Well it's a decent song. I like it. Could do without those FUCKING RETARDED intro and outro but hey. First song that doesn't really suck hard from TbK. Even if very slight, I think there has been an improvement on this 2nd ep, though it will mostly suck anyways. Maybe if we ever get to the 4th one it'll be actually up to par?

what in god's name is that in the intro/outro/background and why the fuck is it there for the entire song

other than that, it's pretty boring but mostly inoffensive. this is not nearly as good as the good stuff on TFE or Zeitgeist.

Do you people not realize how awful it is when what is basically a low-grade Muse song is considered one of the best songs on this album?

I gotta agree with you here...Muse was the first thing I thought of when this song started.. All these posts I read from everyone were mostly "oh this rocks" and bla bla, but this song doesn't 'rock' at all! The only song I've even heard thats worthy of that term is As Rome Burns.. THAT song rocks, children..

You're right; I've heard enough of this Muse-derivative crap all over the place. It's too popular right now. What the hell happened to interesting, carefully crafted guitar tones? His guitar tone sounds like all the other shit on the radio right now.

Fellowship is pretty good. But... I thought the lyrics are a little stupid coming from Billy. We'll be with you if you write non-shitty songs, Billy.

I suppose this a step in the right direction. I don't know how well it adds to any sense of cohesion... but I guess if future songs meld to this type of vibe, it'll be better than the vibe-less mess that is Songs for a Sailor.

Wow, I've never even seen any of the videos they made for that record! When it came out, it wasn't even released in the US, so I had to dl it from the old Pitchfork ftp... A few years later, I had to spend $30 just to import it in.

Well done. I couldn't get as specific as that; all I know is that it sounds very familiar and uninteresting. Just goes to show you how much perception and taste can vary when it comes to individuals.

Sorry, not hearing it at all. Other than the sequenced synth intro, there are no parallels to draw here. I went to two SITS shows last year, stood a few feet away from Billy while he played The Fellowship and if anything, the chords and structure are very TFE-like. The Fellowship seems like a perfect blend of TFE, Eye, with some of the heaviness of Machina thrown in (Wound/I of The Mourning). Can't quite place my finger on it, and I think that's why it sounds so fresh/great.

Muse is so fucking dramatic (and it doesn't feel genuine at all). Is all their music like that?

I'm making a point by posting it - the point may not be that The Fellowship sounds like 100% of modern radio dreck.

I liked listening to this song for the first couples times and now can barely stand it. It's just repetitive and a bit mindless. If it wasn't for the keyboards this song would be one of the worst we've seen yet from this project. It most certainly still is a contender for worst song up to now.

This has been my problem with all of the songs.. I like it for the first day then I go back to it a week later and go 'fuck this is bland.. what was I thinking?'
